With that news it seems we have to adress at least one of these needs via Free Agency. Makes CB a huge need and DE even bigger if that was even possible. We already knew Turner was gone. We're lucky the draft is deep this year.

Damn these QBs are getting paid big, with Tom Brady and now Ravens making Joe Flacco the highest paid player in the league. Packers will surpass that with Rodgers. These guys will set the mark for Matt Ryan, but he's the only one of the 4 without a superbowl. Should be interesting to see how much we give him.

Sure if you think Dent and Bierman are quality starters. IMO Dent is at best a special teamer. Bierman would simply fill a void but I think were a long way from a solid 3-4 lineup.

Dent did very well in 2012 as the season wore on. His best role is as the thumper in the middle. The run defense was a full 1.5 yards per carry better when he was on the field in 2012. Biermann can start in a 3-4 and be as good as Jarrett Johnson was. Not a 10 sack guy, but a 4-5 sack guy who sets the edge.

Seems like CB is a strong possibility for the Falcons in the first round. The Falcons could use a young corner and there are a number of talented ones that seem to be getting talked about as late first round prospects. Especially if the Falcons bring in someone like Freeney in free agency.

Really wish we had some answers about Tony G and the current situation with the defense. There also were some rumors Abe may be coming back but not so sure how true that is. I think even if we went to the 3-4 he could easily be an OLB is that scheme
